WELL, WELL, THINGS ARE TAKING A BIT OF A DIFFERENT DIRECTION. BUT THEN AGAIN, WITH LAST YEAR, WHAT HASN’T?

SO YOU MAY OR MAY NOT KNOW THAT RACHEL OPENED UP HER VERY OWN SALON, THE DARLING LOFT, WHICH BELIEVE IT OR NOT, HAS A LOFT UPSTAIRS. THE QUESTION CAME DOWN TO WHAT TO DO WITH SAID LOFT. AND THERE IS A LOT THAT COULD BE DONE WITH IT, AND TO BE HONEST, A LOT OF, ACTUALLY ALL OF IT BUT ONE DOES NOT INVOLVE ME. AND RIGHTFULLY SO. BUT NOT TO DIGRESS TOO FAR, A COUPLE OF MONTHS DOWN THE ROAD I WAS ASKED IF I WOULD WANT THE SPACE, AND WELL, HERE WE ARE WITH A PHOTOGRAPHY STUDIO. SORT OF. NOW IS THE TIME WE HAVE BEEN FIGURING OUT WHAT THE SPACE HAS TO OFFER WHILE ENHANCING WHAT RACHEL HAS WORKED SO HARD TO BEAUTIFULLY CREATE.

SO UP UNTIL WE OFFICIALLY OPEN THE UPSTAIRS, RIGHT NOW IT IS EXPERIMENT TIME. ADDING OR DELETING THINGS TO FACILITATE A GOOD NICE GROOVE TO SHOOT IN, DISCOVERING WHAT ANGLES AT WHAT TIME IN THE DAY DELIVER IMAGE WISE AND THEN LEARNING HOW TO SUBVERT IT. THE CHARACTER OF THE STUDIO IF YOU WILL.

SO EXPECT OVER THE NEXT COUPLE OF MONTHS UPDATES TO THE LEARNING EXPERIENCE AND FOLLOW FOR THE RIDE. OR BECOME PART OF THE RIDE AND USE THE CONTACT LINK TO SCHEDULE A SESSION THAT FOR THE FIRST TIME, WE CAN ASK INSIDE OR OUT? YOU CAN FIND LINKS TO OTHER POSTS FROM THE STUDIO PROCESS BELOW TO SEE WHAT WE HAVE BEEN UP TO SO FAR.

Round 3 in studio development time. This session was with the absolutely wonderful Mary, who you might recall from this session or maybe this one. It was a fun time to hang and play around with the new surroundings, and I can’t thank her enough for what she brought, not only in her beauty but her patience and creativity as well.
